STEP 27 - Setting the Control Throws:

Aileron - 10 mm up/down

Elevator - 25 mm up/down

Flying Tips:

• Retractable Landing Gear: Because the landing gear retracts rearwards there will be a change in the

aircraft's trim. While the change in trim is small, it is noticeable and the pilot should be aware of this

characteristic.

• Use of Flaps: With the flaps lowered the Comet will 'balloon' upwards slightly and will require some down

elevator trim. It is recommended that when flaps are deployed for the first time, do this at a safe altitude

and re-trim accordingly.

• Torque Effect: Being a twin engined aircraft, and with no direct prop wash acting on the rudder, the torque

of the engines/motors has a greater effect during the initial part of the take off. The aircraft will veer left

and the pilot needs to be ready to correct this with right rudder input. The amount of rudder needed for

correction will decrease as speed increases.

• Landing: Do not attempt to slow the model drastically on landing. It is recommended that 'wheel' landings

be performed rather than 'three point' landings.
